American Foreign Policy Program

Stanley Kaplan Program in American Foreign Policy

The Stanley Kaplan Program in American Foreign Policy enables students to pursue studies of the past, present and future of American leadership in world affairs. Thanks to a generous contribution from a donor, the program is able to bring distinguished visiting professors in both history and political science to spend a year offering courses to students at Williams. Students who are particularly interested in American foreign policy leadership have the opportunity of pursuing a concentration in leadership studies.

Student leadership is an important component of the Stanley Kaplan Program. Students play a major role in selecting guest speakers and planning monthly events related to American foreign policy. The program also sponsors a variety of fellowship opportunities that enable students to pursue their interest in the study of American foreign policy.
